The Emirates without doubt is the most impressive football stadium I have been to, it is amazing, anyone who has not been should go. It puts Wembley to shame, shows how dated Camp Nou is, and I don't particularly like Arsenal either.

Outside of football I would have to say Ascot, after being to quite a few race tracks and then going to Ascot, it really is impressive, the grandstand is stunning

Olympiastadion (Berlin)

The Only one I've ever been to!

I really need to get my arse into gear and go to the Millennium stadium and Anfield!


I thought the one in Berlin was Nice though.

The reason I support BvB is the fan culture that has built up around a true sporting cathedral.

No other stadium comes close to generating the atmosphere week in week out.

Going there next weekend 8-)

Best stadium I've been to is the Millennium Stadium. Emirates is really nice as well.

I got this massive tightness in my chest because I was so excited that I was actually there. It was magnificent.

It's partially down to the memories I had there. I didn't get to go and see loads of games when I was young, but I got to see some great moments - Dennis Bergkamp's first two goals and the last-minute comeback against Shakhtar are my favourites football wise. But it also had personal memories. When my mum died my form tutor arranged for me to tag along to the London Schools final that our Year 9s were playing in. It was in the JVC Centre before a league game (a sports hall built into the back of the Clock End), and we got a sort of semi-backstage pass experience - we were just milling around in the car park after our game, and we got to meet some players who were just getting out of their cars :lol: . The experience was a really bright spot in a pretty horrible time for me.

Then there's the building itself - truly iconic. I'd have loved to have been there in the old days before they redid the North Bank and Clock End, it looked so different from how it was in the 90s with the Jumbotrons. I love monolithic modern stadia, but when I went to see a match at Anfield recently I realised how much we'll miss really old grounds when they're gone.

I didn't think when we moved to the Grove that I'd miss our old ground that much, but I really, really do sometimes :cry:



You got a bit of Seamen on you there.

Biased because it's the one race I've been to, but it was pretty strawberry floating amazing, loads of history, great setting, had access to all parts of the track and after the race was done they let you run about on the circuit like a lunatic :wub:

Monza

Also, because it's so iconic, it always looks amazing and there's something special about watching The Masters every year late at night or even in bed, has to be. Obviously never been though.
